Yes, that was it. The battery linked to in that is fine and even came with a useful case, however showing zero stock presently.

Just because someone says something on an internet forum doesn't necessarily mean its right, does it?!

Also worth considering that it would be considered a grey import here in the UK with all that entails should it go wrong.

Wonder if it is new. Below it says, "Photos taken with this Camera." (They have history!)

Gartmore linked to them before Christmas and I took his recommendation. However they look to be out of stock at the moment so probably not much help to you!

Perhaps you can find these somewhere else.
Not me I'm afraid. I'm firmly in the manufacturers battery camp
Sorry, beg your pardon. I tried to find the post again but couldn't, hence my other recent comment that a forum search for MX-1 surprisingly returns zero results! Whether the thread has been removed or not is hard to say.

Source please? If it came from a Pentax engineer it's probably right, if it came from somewhere else, who knows! I find that hard to believe though.

As you say its personal choice and depends what you want the gallery for. You may have all your photos in a gallery but only make the best ones available for the public to view with others also visible to friends and family with a password.

I have photographs in multiple categories eg A Tower of London photo in a London folder and in a Historic Buildings folder (only there isn't a picture of that in it as it happens!) It's really down to personal preference and what you want to achieve - there are no general rules to follow unless the purpose is to sell pictures when you would probably only want to show your best/saleable work (mine isn't that.) If you wish to see mine it's here: link (open 8.00am to 1.30am UK time -it's rested to help preserve the hard disks!)

Just to add, the gallery software I use allows virtual pictures to appear to be in two or more albums even though there is only one real occurrence of that picture in the database. The gallery software I use is the open source Piwigo: http://piwigo.org/ and I thoroughly recommend it.

Comment by JAK posted on Photo website gallery- do you keep photos in mutually exclusive categories? at 25/01/2014 - 00:26
